Charlotte has a wonderful cycling community. They have made me a better person and are always supportive no matter what you set your mind to. Riding a bike never gets old. It’s just as much fun now as it was when I was a kid.

Currently, my son is the fastest kid I know and can put out some killer watts on the bike. I know cycling has changed his life and someday he hopes to go pro. As his Dad I want him to achieve all his dreams and goals. Go, Gino!
